Just read some of the reviews, and what a bunch of whiners. lol. Or maybe I just got lucky, but I have had NO feeding or firing issues with these. Some didn't trace, but maybe I just am very picky about how CLEAN my gun is. I really must add: make sure you have a well built gun that's taken care of before you go shooting military grade ammo. I wouldn't use a Walmart special, imho.

Just a poor excuse for a round of ammo. I shot 3 rounds through my Bushmaster AR and the 4th, 5th, and 6th left so much copper trash in my barrel, my bolt carrier got stuck. This item should definitely be recalled.

Don't buy this ammo unless you want to take your gun apart every three shots, because every six shots, I had to take my Stag Arms Model 1 AR-15 apart to clear the primer. They should recall this ammo ASAP. It's dangerous and will get someone hurt if they don't know what they are doing with a firearm.

I bought this ammo about a week ago. I was pleasantly surprised on how fast I received it until I went to the range. I could not get more than one round off at a time. They were just not cycling. The round was very accurate, but it was annoying to have to pull the bolt back with every shot. I sure do hope I do not need to defend myself or my family with this ammo.
2.0 Rating Iffy at best - 11/30/2012Surplus 5.56 NATO Tracer M196 FMJ 55 Grain 720 Round Can 3200 fps2.0000
Reviewer: Banditt
I ordered the 720 round can to split with a buddy and did not read the reviews before ordering. As the ammo was being shipped, I became concerned over my purchase. It arrived and just as some of the other reviews had said, the ammo had a distinct odor to it and there was a lot of discoloration to the boxes inside. I loaded up 40 rounds and went to the range. Almost every round traced and the ones that didn't while in flight actually lit after impact? It was like watching a road flare go off. All rounds went bang and I did have one primer come out, causing a misfeed of the next round. I also noticed that each round had a mark left by the bolt on the bottom of the casing. I'm assuming the over-pressure was causing the damage. I will not be ordering any more of these and hopefully be able to get rid of this ammo before it damages my gun.
